VIDEO Highlights: Braves Lost 3-2 to Kemptville Sunday in CCHL

Kemptville – When Is A Loss Not A Defeat? The Braves dropped a 3-2 game to nationally ranked Kemptville 73s Sunday night but I want to state it was not a defeat!

Kemptville outshot the Braves by a fair margin (28-12) in the first 2 periods but they were even Stephen at 8 each apiece in the 3rd. Character!

Video Highlights below:

Once again this weekend, strong goaltending failed to get the win, but it was strong. The winning goal was an unfortunate play, Renaud Auger-Mongrain, playing his first game in goal for the Braves, was knocked over, and while he was laying on the ice Aidan Dougherty fired the puck into the gaping vacancy in the Braves net. Ouch!

The Braves travel to Cornwall to play the Colts on Thursday night starting at 7:00pm in their first Home at Home series. Then Friday night the Colts are in Brockville starting at 7:30pm at the Memorial Centre.
